My Spin Cycle.... err.... Shepherd... is starting to get some of the training. We're working with her.
I dunno if she's a keeper yet.

Ha! I don't think so.... potty training was the first part. She's generally pretty good about that, but we put her out 20 times a day or more.
It's the not jumping on people, not gnawing on people, sit on command, heel and not drag when walking and staying put when told that we need.
The trainer came the other day... we were working with Jayde in the front yard, doing on-leash stuff. Getting up on the platform and staying, following on leash without pulling, sit on command, etc. He brought his own dog with him and he had been in the van... so he thought he would get him out and play with him a bit while we were working Jayde, to see how she did with distractions.
He let his 1 year old lab out of the van and pointed to the fire hydrant across the street and told him, "Place!". Dog ran over, jumped on TOP of the fire hydrant and stayed there the next 15 minutes watching until he was told he could come over. It was incredible. I need that. We're working on it. I want a dog that follows directions 100% of the time. Every time. Without fail.
Oh, you're gonna hate me for this...
...does your wife have the same criteria for you?
(Mine seems to.)
